Any clues regarding which FORD-FOARD family claims my
ancestor Henry FORD/FOARD!! Lived in VA.....moved in
1795 and died in 1808 in Pittsylvania Co VA. Estimated
birth 1740..? Your thoughts are appreciated!! Debbie
Wood

Henry FORD appears to have lived in Charlotte Co VA
where some of his children married.
A Henry FORD appears in court records with:
Culverine,
Abner,
Hezekiah
Elisha [name also in my Ford family]
and other FORDs.

One daughter married in Halifax Co VA. Halifax became
part of NC, I believe and I've seen Henry FORD names
in later FORD families who moved from MD to
Mecklenburg NC.

I've seen later familes with a Henry FORD and I've
seen an earlier Henry FORD.

No record found for Henry and Frances FORDs marriage,
which would have taken place abt 1760.

His estate records in Pittsylvania Co VA show that
Frances was already deceased when Henry died in 1808.
Names found in relation to Henry FOARD's estate
records are:

WOODARD, MARTIN, THOMPSON, SHELTON, SPENCER,
BARKSDALE, EDWARD, HICKS, RAGLAND, JONES, TERRY,
ELLIS.

Very early clergy records have a Henry FORD of
VA,would've been an adult by 1730, who was a grammar
school teacher; HEZEKIAH was listed as his brother
(letters to Bishop of London at Library of VA) Henry
requests to become a minister ( Church of England) and
to replace the spot left by a Deveraux Jarrett.[name
Jarrett in my Ford family].

I realize the research on the early FORDS is fairly
sketchy, but my Henry must be related somehow to these
known lines, as his family names reflect as much.

If anyone has an inkling as to where Henry may belong,
please drop me a line.

My Henry and wife Frances(MDNU) would've married circa
1760 had children:

John m.Frances Haynes circa 1791

Elisha born circa 1761 m.Rebecca Haley

Eliz. m. Harrison Ashworth in 1791

Sarah m. James Murphy 1796 in Halifax Co VA

Frances m. Josiah Shelton in Halifax Co VA 1797

Jarrett m. Nancy Haley

William Henry m. Eliz.

Thomas m. Rebecca Burton 1793, Charlotte Co VA

Mary m. Ambrose Haley 1803, Pittsylvania Co VA

The Haley's are children of Lewis and Leannah Haley of
King and Queen Co Va and Charlotte Co VA.

and Elisha FORDs:
